Addicted (See Jane Wear)

I'm currently not traveling for work right now (I miss you, though, San Francisco!) so I'm able to take pictures during the week; thus, another work outfit is on display for you. What's even better is that it stays light so much later so I'm able to take the photos after I get home. Although I'll most likely be traveling again soon, a break from the airport and hotels is a welcome break, indeed.

Ever since I first experimented with the B Jones 'Carrie bun,' I became addicted (case in point here and here). Sure, I like to wear my hair up in various ways, but this discovery was some sort of awakening for me. I wear my hair up a few times during the work week so I don't have to wash it so often (keeps color in tact and I just feel like it's better to wash it less) and this is easily my new favorite 'do.

Would you like to see more of my work-friendly outfits or are they putting you to sleep? Disclaimer: you have no idea how much I wish I didn't have to adhere to a business-casual dress code.

Love the B Jones 'Carrie bun". And it looks fabulous on you. I am currently growing out my hair but every so often, I want to cut it all off, but I have a goal, to get my hair long enough to try the 'Carrie bun'.

I like this outfit! Love the club monaco blouse and those chanel flats are gorgeous. What is it that you do that you travel a lot? I'm loving that it stays lighter late into the day it allows me to take pictures outside when I come home from work as well :)

You look fabu - love the blouse, pearls, cardi combo:)I am actually really impressed with your wear to work outfits... I do not have to dress business casual anymore but when I did it was so difficult to put together something stylish, yet conservative day after day!xoljhttp://jonesyloves.blogspot.com/

You look fantastic! i love the shirt, it's fun and grown-up all at the same time. And aren't B Jones hair tutorials awesome? I became addicted to the 'puff it up' one she did a few months back. it's amazing how a simple change in hair-do can make you feel fancy :)

I really like your outfit. You do the Carrie bun really well! I work from my home office now and sometimes I have to force myself to wear something other than sweat pants. I miss the office life and being part of the office fashion scene. Do you ever travel to the Minneapolis area?

I think that you look FABULOUS in your business-casual wardrobe, my dear! I love how you mix color and print to add a little extra interest; your shirt is too cute and the cardigan is fantastic on you. And I'm really, really loving your hair like that lately.xo Josiehttp://winksmilestyle.blogspot.com

I am currently in law school in Chicago. I have had a difficult time adjusting the the business dress code, and I find your business attire very aspiring.

Also, you truly should have won the Refinery Style Blogger challenge. I feel that the Midwestern aesthetic that is part practicality, 100% style hasn't quite caught on yet nationally. However, as a Chicago resident I find all of your outfits rather inspiring. Keep up the good work.

Post more work outfits please! I think it's actually really nice to see put-together pretty but still stylish work out fits. I always need more inspiration for work outfits and it definitely is more tricky to balance propriety with style than weekend ware.
